Welcome to the Bad News from Sweden blog!

News coverage from Israel in much of the media is frequently a parody of honest journalism as defined by the 'Code of Ethics' guidelines of the profession. In order to expose the frequent distortion of news by a number of Swedish journalists, “Bad News from Sweden” has been created. It focuses on negative news items from Sweden. Yet it is much more honest than what these correspondents report. This blog only provides true facts and states clearly that it states negative facts only. It shows that by using real news stories without context, one can make any country look bad.

Make your own parody of biased media: start a “bad news” blog about another country.
